so frustrated with dh - rant

**lisettelovebug** · 05-17-2008, 02:15 AM

I was talking to dh when he called on his lunch break at 1 am. The little guy was awake and I was having trouble with him wanting to go back to sleep. Dh then proceeds to tell me that he signed ME up to do concession stand at ds's game tomorrow!!!!!! I am soooo mad at him! I told him a few weeks ago when he mentioned something about it that it was his turn this year because I had done it last year. He said he would watch the game and keep the little ones. Well.... how well is that going to work when it's supposed to be cold out - 50s... I don't think those little ones will be out in that weather. all I need is for them to get sick. I've had a cold for over a week and that's been bad enough - don't need to deal with sick babies.

I totally hate when people volunteer me to do something without my knowledge. EEEERRRRRR!!!! I'm still fuming. So, it's off to get some cleaning done (at 2am) - that's what I do when I get mad...

Don't ya just love it when they do that!!
At least you clean when you get mad. That's a good thing! I just grab a bag of chips or whatever and watch the steam come out of my ears!

If he really makes yah mad my house needs cleaning Hehehe

That has got to suck .. luckily no one has volunteered me to do anything

I think Mr. Volunteer should go in your place.

I don't think they care which one of you shows up as long as one of you does.

Stir that pot!

I know how you feel, my DH does that to me too and doesnt even discuss it with me, in your case, make your wonderful DH go in your place.

From the guys perspective....

If you really want to get back at him, have him stay home with the little ones and you go work the stand. After the game is over take dd and go do something. Even if it just window shop or the libary. Take your time 2+ hours. Relax and enjoy the one on one time with dd. If you have a cell phone, ignore his calls.

If he complains when you get home, just say you saw it as an opportunity to spend one on one time with dd. If he continues, tell him maybe he should have gone. After all it was his turn.

Too bad this wouldn't work - ball park is 2 blocks away - within walking distance.

Dh hasn't said 2 words to me all morning. Last night he said that he shouldn't have to work all night and then work there, Not like it's work anyways. you stand there and take peoples money and give them candy or food. no biggie, he ended up going over by himself. he'll eventually get over it - until then...peace and quiet? lol just kidding.

Ah geez, I hope you nicely pointed out to him that that's basically what he was expecting you to do.

Glad he decided to make the decision to go! Kind of bleh to be giving you the silent treatment on something he did on his own, though. I hope he gets himself in a better mood for you

It seems to me that you were up with the baby. What the heck did he think you were doing, partying the night away? HE is the one that volunteered, not YOU!

I like dad4 Idea! tell him to make sure and not volunteer you for anything.
because he will be doing it his self.
when dh and I first married I learnt real quick I was not suppose to volunteer him . and I never have again!
